Love is in the lair?….

Ageing middle aged roue, lawyer, blogger and professional Rioja drinker seeks attractive, amusing woman who does not spend her leisure hours reading Rayden on Divorce or stripping newsagent shelves of Bride Monthly. Tax and Trust lawyers or those with off-shore expertise need not apply. Smokers encouraged and drinking is compulsory.

Despite the fact that I have been married so many times I now have an ASBO prohibiting me from going within 200 yards of a Church, Register Office or other licensed place for the purpose of committing libertarian suicide, I am not, contrary to the *advert* above, looking for love or a shag.

No… I am assisting my good friends over at LawandMore with their latest idea, cooked up possibly after work at a decent wine bar. Their idea? The Dating Game…

This is what I received from the most amusing editor (she who set fire accidentally to my chest hair while I was a guest of LawandMore at an excellent lunch last summer)

Are you single? Is the person sitting next to you single? Is James from IP single? Law and More, after numerous requests, has finally got round to introducing Lawandmore Dating. The section will work much as you find in The London Paper/Metro but, obviously, we’ll be sending out hot lawyers out on various escapades around the capital – wine tasting, slap up meal for two, dancing lesson etc ( also happy to organise any requests) (all expenses paid, naturally) . All we require you to do is a. have fun b. to write up a smart and sassy review of the evening and any intricacies that evolve! You can, of course, remain anonymous should you so wish. All we require is the name of your firm/chamber/practice and a few photographs of the evening which can be altered to preserve confidentiality. Of course, as this section is totally new, we are very much open to any ideas you may have to make this section fly.

We are currently inviting all singletons that work within the legal profession (and would like to go on a date with a foxy peer) to submit a very short resume stating: Sex, Age, Orientation, Interests, Position within firm,Looking for/interest/ideal partner, Recent photo, Ideal date/ activity

We’ll than match you, hopefully, with your kindred spirit and send you on an all expenses paid date in the Capital (regional to follow) Please forward this email on to any of your single peers that could do with a fabulous night out and someone to call their ‘own’.

This does sound like fun though – I don’t understand what Lawandmore gets out of it though, other than some funny stories accompanied by pictures of half inebriated lawyers?

Oh, I see: this is like the Scientology Initiation where you end up divulging all sorts of naughty secrets under duress (usually hypnotherapy but here copious amounts of alcohol presumably) which can then be used against you for the ‘greater good’….

As if LAWYERS out on a date isnt bad enough, I have it on authority ( oh, alright FACEBOOK) that STUDENTS are to be allowed to participate in this wonderous scheme !
All these Bar Students rushing about doing a Cat-Keating sort of thing simply does not BEAR thinking about!!

I don’t getting naked is a pre-requisite to the promo – the idea from what I read on the site is that you go about reviewing venues (how you choose to do that and quite what you review is presumably down to each party but one’s activities will have to be written up the following morning, which is kind of an incentive to actually enjoy a good night out on the town rather than to worry about the colour of your date’s underpants).

Of course if you like your date, I would imagine you can wander/ wonder away…..

This brought to mind an old Jackson Browne song called – um – ‘lawyers in love’. I quote…

‘I can’t keep up with what’s been going down
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love’
